Bill Gates is building a "smart city" in Arizona.

It will be in an area to the West of Phoenix with plans of up to 80,000 homes. I wonder if good old Bill will buy the water rights and charge everyone a fee to drink? That would be his M.O.

Well, if it is so smart, it'll manage to reduce massive water consumption, it'll recycle what it's got, in fact, it'll be Dune all over again.

A smart city filled with dumb people that will be told how to live from A to Z, that will be intruded upon in every aspect of their privacy and personal affairs? Sign me up.

That's kind of my concern with 'GatesLand". I'm sure it will be really futuristic with self driving trains, rain harvesting, waste processing and solar etc. But I'm wondering what that guy has up his sleeve.
